This is a healthy cooling complete summer meal. Daliya works as my substitute for rice since I love low carb meals but want a filled tummy.
The low carb combined with good fat and proteins of your homemade yogurt is a perfectly fulfilling summer special.

2. Wash it and Pressure cook it for 3 whistles with enough water like cooking rice. Remove the cooked daliya in a bowl. Allow it to cool.

3. Prepare the seasoning by shallow frying the stuffed chillies in a spoon of oil until they turn darker in color. Avoid burning by stirring constantly. Add to the cooled daliya.
4. Splutter jeera and mustard with hing in another spoon of oil. Add green chillies; ginger; curry leaves and lightly fry for 1 minute. Add to daliya.
6. Add the curd and milk to the cooled mixture and mix together. Add a little more curd, milk and a little water to the mix if the consistency is too dry. Keep it semi liquid since daliya absorbs a lot of the liquid.
7. Add salt to taste and Garnish with cucumber carrots and coriander.
8. Serve with roasted or fried papads and your favourite pickle.

Thanks to my close friend Sharmila Dixit for sharing this wonderful recipe.

4 tbsp or 2 large cups of besan or bengal gram flour

1-2 large onions finely chopped

1-2 large tomatoes finely chopped

2 or 3 green chillies finely chopped

1/2 tbsp turmeric/haldi powder

1 tbsp red chilli powder

1/2 tbsp coriander/dhania powder

1/2 tbsp cumin/jeera powder

1/2 tsp of carom/ajwain/owa seeds

Handful of coriander leaves/dhania finely chopped

A few curry leaves

Salt to taste

Cooking oil for shallow frying

Method:

Step 1: Prepare the batter by mixing all the above ingredients in a large bowl and adding enough water to make a semi liquid pouring consistency.

Step 2: Heat the non stick-tawa/ shallow frying pan on the gas and pour 2 tablespoons of batter and spread evenly to make an omelette. Poke a few holes in the omelette with the ladle to allow for even cooking.

Step 3: Spread a spoon of cooking oil to prevent sticking and turn the omelette until both sides are cooked. One side is turns crispy brown to indicate that it is fully cooked.
